if i had to choose one it would be a boss from one of the sly cooper games, they are all so good and original though… it’s hard to choose…..i think clockwork from sly cooper 1 was amazing, and from sly 2 ide say the spider woman, and 3 would easily be the black barron,and sly 4 goes to the lion man.﻿

this one was the first for god of war WHAT Spartan Total warrior was rated the best under rated game of all time it had a baddass hydra aswell and you could crash your gamecube if you took enough of its heads off lol ﻿

My favorite boss fight is the final battle between Samus and Metroid Prime in the first Metroid Prime game. I still remember that rush of “you got to be kidding me!” when you beat the first stage as if that weren’t hard enough, and then you have to battle it’s second form which took the whole Phazon concept that had been causing the gamer curiosity through-out the whole game and gave the player the entire potential power of this mysteriously dangerous substance right into your finger-tips. After I beat that game, my childhood was complete. I felt like such a badass. ﻿

A good bossbattle I’ve entountered is a battle that has been modified to be extremely hard and it is Tequatl The Sunless in Guild Wars 2! It is so hard and frustrating sometimes I just want to leave the battle, but it is SOOOO EPIC!!!!﻿

I love all the Monster hunter bosses because they are realy hard to kill and it is a real challange compared to most recent games. some of the Hardest monsters can take half an hour or more to kill (I like the Tigrex the most)﻿

5.The Doppelganger(Castlevania SOTN): If you don’t cheap him to death, he can do everything you can do… and if you pay close attention, you might even learn something from him.

4. Cid Raines(FFXIII): He is a powerful boss, and a fair challenge. He makes you use that you learned up until that point. He serves as the gatekeeper to the second(harder, yet more enjoyable) part of the game. You beating him is like a signal to the game, that you are ready for anything it will throw at you.

3. Xaldin(KHII): He’s likely the second organization member you face… and likely one of the two most difficult. He has a large attack range, and a large amount of health. For many players he became “That one boss.”.

2. The End(MGS3): He forces you to use all the sneaking you’ve learned… and tests your perception… one wrong step, and he shoots you… and those shots can hurt.

1. Magus(Chrono Trigger): He is a powerful foe, and in your first play through he is likely the first truly threatening boss. That isn’t even touching on the atmosphere of the fight, the music, the blue flames, the creepy statue… they just did everything right for him.﻿

Metal Gear Solid 3 – The End & Final Fantasy VII – Jenova. The End fight really is a great challenge and show of your ability. And I just love the Jenova because you use the whole party, not just 3 or 4 people, so it makes you have to level everyone equally so you don’t have weak links in your chain.﻿

These lists are utter shit. I can name so many boss fights that are far superior to any of these… For example The Boss, The End, False King Allant, Maiden Astraea, Ornstein & Smough, Sephirot, a lot of vanilla WoW bosses.﻿

My top 5 would have to be (blah, blah, spoilers and stuff): 5. Borderlands 2 – Handsome Jack and The Warrior. Simply due to the amount of revenge you can lay out on that douchebag – A great villan and boss (although rather easy IMO). 4. Sly 1 & 2 – Clockwerk. Simply ending the fight that had been going on for generations (in Sly’s family) was so satisfying. 3. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim – Alduin. Killing that dragon was very satisfying, and rather rewarding in my opinion simply due to it being the ending of that fantastic journey. 2. Mass Effect 2 – The Human Reaper. Although I haven’t been a proper fan of the Mass Effect series for as long as others have been, I ended up loving the series (Yes, ME3 as well, despite the amount of hate the ending receives). Destroying the human reaper was a great way to end ME2. 1. Half-Life (Series). I can’t really make my mind up here… The boss of Half-Life 1, Nihilanth, or simply defeating the waves of combine forces in Half-Life 2: Episode 2. Both fights were great (first one being the most disturbing though in my opinion), even though the latter wasn’t exactly a boss fight, but simply waves of enemies coming at you. Nontheless, it was still satisfying when you then sendi of that missile, and then extremely depressing to see the death of a certain someone… Many tears were shed…

Ganon could very very easily be defeated without a scratch by rolling underneath his legs. Once the first half of the fight was over, you’d already won. I also disagree completely about the Hydra. Battling the first two Sisters of Fate at the end of God of War 2 is my all time favorite boss fight from the series. Also, the Flamelurker from Demon’s Souls should be on absolutely every “Greatest Boss” list.﻿

Nah, the bosses in Dark Souls were good, but I’d love to see some Borderlands here. Like… Bloodwing. I mean, the desire to NOT kill a boss is just unique. And in that way, Jack gave me a reason to kill his whole family :I﻿
